research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Skin Transcriptome Reveals the Periodic Changes in Genes Underlying Cashmere Follicle Transition in Cashmere Goats
The study identified key genes that regulate the growth cycle of cashmere in goats, which could help improve breeding strategies.
research Transcriptome Dynamics Reveal Stage-Specific and Melatonin-Triggered Gene Expression Patterns During the Cashmere Growth Cycle in Capra Hircus
Melatonin can increase cashmere yield by altering gene expression and restarting the growth cycle early.
